Morning

Everyday when I wake I prepare for a little trek that will take me down a winding path and through the woods. I will skirt the edge of the lake and look out past the trees expectantly awaiting the dawn.
When the first rays of glittering sunlight hit the tip of the hillside, I suck in my breath. A sensation of awe overwhelms me.

The full impact of sunrise stuns me. I focus on the horizon, unable to move my gaze. Some things in life are still extraordinary, will always be perfect.
